Diabetic neuropathy

Goals of treatment for M.T. are eradication of the causative organism and relief of symptoms such as dysuria, urinary frequency, and urgency. It is also important to educate her on prevention of recurrent infections, especially because of her diabetes. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of infections, with the urinary tract being the most frequent infection site (Nitzan, Elias, Chazan, & Saliba, 2015).

Abstract Diabetes Mellitus type 1 or type 2 can have short term and long-term complications, symptoms can appear between days to weeks. Throughout, you will gain more information about diabetes, what organs it can affect, symptoms, complications a diabetes patient with type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes may come across. There are tests such as glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test, fasting blood sugar test, and oral glucose tolerance test (Mayo Clinic, n.d) that show what type of diabetes you have

Diabetes is a disease that occurs because of insufficient insulin production. This results in high blood glucose levels. Diabetes mellitus is the scientific name of diabetes, while the common name is diabetes. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Diabetes were identified 3,500 years ago in Egypt. Thomas Willis, an English epidemiologist, was the first modern western physician to discover that the urine of diabetes tasted sweet. Michel Eugene Chevreul, a French chemist, discovered

Diabetes Mellitus In the pancreas, there are specialized cells that form small islands of cells, called "islets of Langerhans," that are alpha cells and beta cells. In these endocrine cells, they release pancreatic hormones, such as insulin and glucagon that diffuse into the bloodstream to regulate glucose levels. Beta cells secretes insulin, which regulates carbohydrate, protein, fat metabolism and storage. On the other hand, alpha cells secrete glucagon, in which it breaks down stored sugar (glycogenolysis)

Prediabetes Prediabetes is described as having a fasting blood glucose level higher than normal, but not elevated to the level of the classification of diabetes (CDC, 2014; CDC 2015) Normal blood glucose level is considered to be less than 100 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), and diabetes is diagnosed when the blood glucose level rises above 126 mg/dL. Prediabetes falls in between at a level 100-125 mg/dL. Individuals with prediabetes are at a higher risk of heart disease and other complications

the outpatient setting as well as the inpatient setting helps to prevent much more difficult to treat and costly acute illnesses. An example in the outpatient setting, is the careful monitoring of diabetic patients which can significantly reduce complications of diabetic neuropathy, retinopathy, diabetic infections. Smoking cessation, monitory of cholesterol, and routine screening such as mammography and colonoscopy also significantly decrease more costly acute diseases process, On

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION WHAT IS HEART? The human heart is a muscular organ that provides a continuous blood circulation through the cycle and is one of the most vital organs in the human body. The heart is divided into four main chambers: the two upper chambers are called the left and right atria and two lower chambers are called the right and left ventricles. There is a thick wall of muscle separating the right side and the left side of the heart called the septum. Fig 1: HUMAN HEART[10] HOW
